OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Autumn Lindsey to be keynote speaker at March for Life in Dublin on Saturday 17th September ()
[link removed]

We are thrilled to announce that the keynote speaker at the March for Life in Dublin on Saturday 17th September will be Autumn Lindsey, spokesperson for Students for Life of America.

Autumn first came to prominence in 2017 when she made a rebuttal video that was watched by millions in response to a Teen Vogue article promoting abortion.

She now works as the spokesperson for Students for Life of America and was a regular contributor to TV and radio debates in the US in recent months after the overturning of Roe v Wade. She also hosts a popular online show called Unapologetic, that informs and educates a new generation pro-life activists on how to articulate the pro-life message with love and strength.

The march in Dublin on 17th September is the fourth in a series of regional Marches for Life hosted in 2022. It is a particularly important event as it coincides with the Government’s 3-Year Review of the abortion law nearing its end.

In May, the Pro Life Campaign organised three very well attended regional marches in Cork, Galway and Donegal and there was the Life Institute’s Rally for Life in Dublin in July. Collectively, these gatherings were a great source of encouragement and motivation but we have to keep up the pressure.

On 17th September, we are asking families and supporters of all ages to join us outside the Dáil where we’ll unite with pro-life Oireachtas members to demand proper representation for the pro-life viewpoint at the decision making table, to make way for policies that will help reduce Ireland’s spiralling abortion rate.

The Government knows it can’t justify the exclusion of pro-life voices but it’s our responsibility to bring this issue to a head and insist on being included in the decision making process so we can work towards reducing the abortion rate.

It is going to be a hard fought battle but the more we expose the lack of representation the quicker change will happen. It’s why we need to have a massive crowd at this the final pro-life march for 2022.

So please take note of the date and make every effort to be there. And please encourage your pro-life friends to do likewise. It will be a wonderful family friendly event and send a strong message to the Government. But to really pack a punch and show the strength of our commitment, we need every last pro-life supporter to be present!

Life affirming story that captured the hearts of millions ()

Tens of millions of people watched Sarati’s video on Facebook and TikTok about her struggle to conceive a baby and about her intense joy when she discovered she was finally pregnant.

In recent weeks, Sarati posted pictures of her gorgeous little baby girl who was the cause of all the celebration on the original video her mother posted when she found out she was pregnant.

It’s a touching little story with a strong underlying pro-life message about the awesome dignity and preciousness of each and every human life.

Send INSTANT ready-to-go message to your TDs asking them to urge Stephen Donnelly to immediately STOP telemedicine abortion ()
[link removed]
The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly is expected to make a decision very soon on whether to end or sanction the continuation of telemedicine home abortions.

In a very distrubing new finding, 15% of women in the UK said they experienced pressure to go though with an abortion they didn't want to have.*

The HSE in Ireland recently acknowledged** that coercion is MORE likely to occur when abortions happen remotely.

Telemedicine abortion is anti-woman as well as anti-baby.

Take one minute to send an INSTANT message to your TDs asking them to urge the Minister for Health to immediately STOP telemedicine abortion now that Covid 19 measures have been eased in every other area.

You can send an instant message here ([link removed])
